Pets are marvelous!! I love them

Pet care experience

I left my two dogs in my home country, and I miss them so much. The happiness that a pet can bring into our lives is truly remarkable. Unfortunately, my previous place in Vancouver didn't allow pets, so I decided to become a pet sitter in 2019. This choice allowed me to enjoy my free time with wonderful companions—my new furry friends. Now, we live in a house with a fenced yard, surrounded by nature and near the beach. The best part is that there is no pet policy here, which is why we welcomed Kiki, a Yorkshire Terrier, into our family. We love and care for her deeply. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which is fantastic! I can spend quality time with the pets. They bring so much joy and energy into my life. I genuinely love animals—my personality is energetic, friendly, and caring. There is no happiness without them. Playing, walking, and simply petting them fills me with good energy. Pets deserve our love and care; they are innocent creatures. My teenager and I have taken care of dogs for friends and family for a while now. We enjoy walking dogs and boarding them at home. I'm just a five-minute walk from the beach, and there is a dog park, as well as parks and trails nearby. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to meet your precious companion. They would be more than welcome in our lives!

Minerva was a very good match for my dog - excellent communication, extremely responsive to all inquiries and requests, and an environment that was really good for boarding dogs - huge back yard, always other dogs around for companionship, walks every day. Highly recommended.

It was our first time leaving Darby with anyone other than family but our worries were unfounded. Minerva was amazing, Darby had so much fun and was so well taken care of in Minerva's home. We will certainly continue to have Minerva help us out!

Here’s the translation: It was Chai’s first time staying away from home, and we treated it as a trial run for a longer stay. Minerva was very open and kind about all our worries and questions, and she made sure to take care of Chai in every detail, always sending us updates and little news. Now Chai will be staying with her for 15 days, and we’re certain she’ll be extremely well cared for, with lots of love and attention.
